That concern just doesn't ring true to me. I'm in one of the most liberal enclaves in the country, and every parent I know wants their children in private schools for the educational benefits.

I have progressive friends who teach in public schools but pinch pennies to send their children elsewhere. It isn't because they want to abolish education education.

I see atheist Chinese immigrants who pay top dollar to send their kids to catholic schools because they know it maximizes their education and path the IVY league.

This has absolutely not been my experience living in the south. I've known people who send their kids to private schools for conversion therapy purposes. And our governments are openly hostile to education in general.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. But, from a legislative perspective, this is 100% being pushed by the conservative right. You may have some progressive friends - I don't care. I live in a deep red state, I understand the rights intentions.

It is 100% to abolish education. These people get personally offended if you've went to college.

YMMV. Im in SF, so the right is non-existent. Progressives pay 50k/yr for the type private elementary schools. One of them recently had Hillary Clinton as the star speaker for a 5th grade convocation and you should have seen the parents going nuts and fighting for tickets.
